Abstract

METODO DE COMPRIMIR UN GAS, POR EJEMPLO PARA LA SEPARACION DE AIRE O LA SINTESIS DE AMONIACO. LA CANTIDAD DE COMBUSTIBLE, QUE SE REQUIERE PARA PROPORCIONAR LA ENERGIA PARA COMPRIMIR UN GAS, PUEDE SER REDUCIDA COMPRIMIENDO EL GAS SUSTANCIALMENTE DE MODO ADIABATICO POR UNA RELACION DE PRESIONES DE AL MENOS 2,5:1 EN UN COMPRESOR, ENFRIANDO EL GAS CALIENTE COMPRIMIDO MEDIANTE INTERCAMBIO DE CALOR CON AGUA A PRESION SUPERIOR A LA ATMOSFERICA, CALENTANDO ADICIONALMENTE EL AGUA PARA PRODUCIR VAPOR DE AGUA RECALENTADO Y UTILIZANDO EL VAPOR DE AGUA RECALENTADO PARA ACCIONAR EL COMPRESOR. LA CANTIDAD TOTAL CONSUMIDA DE COMBUSTIBLE PUEDE SER CONSIDERABLEMENTE MENOR QUE LA UTILIZADA PARA COMPRIMIR CONVENCIONALMENTE EL GAS (ES DECIR SUSTANCIALMENTE DE MODO ISOTERMICO).
